The National Battle of the Bands has become a prelude to the HBCU football season.
On Saturday at Houston’s NRG Stadium, eight HBCU marching bands representing Alabama A&M, Alcorn State, Bethune-Cookman, Grambling State, Kentucky State, North Carolina A&T, Prairie View A&M, and Southern University performed entertaining field shows before a crowd in the tens of thousands.
The event was only an exhibition. No winner was declared. But we at HBCU Sports (as we have done in previous years) are going to give our readers a chance to declare a winner.
